Yeah, I'm not a morning person either. I was dreading September as my middle one was going to start college again, but now they're* not sure, so I'm guessing not too much will change from September, unless my eldest has to start going into uni. But with the case numbers riding again, I don't think that will happen. (*My middle one now identifies as non-binary, so I'm not using my daughter/she/her anymore. Just in case you were wondering.)Yay for some me time, boo for early starts! I have to go back to he office 2 days a week from September, hose 7am starts are gonna kill me
All of your manis are very cute!

This is really pretty. I was wearing an Illyrian too, just took it off. Will post mani pictures again soon, but I didn't have time this weekend as my youngest was back from his Dad's, and we spent quite a lot of time playing together which was nice. He's gone back, the decorator is expected to be here all week, so no home schooling again this week.

I hope you're right about Unis but as you know I work for one and they are DESPERATE to get the students back in. All will be different mind you, hope your son's is more sensible.

I don't know, he literally only had to go in a handful of times all year. At least he'll be double jabbed by the autumn, so less of a worry - hopefully.
That said, today is "freedom day" and I'm staying at home, thank you very much. I really don't fancy going out among the maskless masses. Also it's really hot again today.

Some mani pictures. As I said before, I feel a bit meh about nail polish at the moment and can't be bothered to put in the effort to match up polishes. I do occasionally, but most of my recent manis have been single colours. I know most people do this, but I always tried to pair them up for fun and to try and use more polishes, but I just don't have the energy at the moment. Meh.
Anyway, first mani is Pahlish Vulcanix Underground topped with Glam Polish Arcana Dark on the accents. I liked them both, but the Glam wasn't as close to the Pahlish as I initially thought.
Next is KBShimmer We Make Your Dreams Come Blue. It's really pretty.
This is Emily de Molly Reflected Glory I really like this polish, it looks so different in the sun than in the shade.
I also did my toes, with Emily de Molly Leave It to Me. It's okay, looked better in the bottle, supposed to have silver glitter in it, but it's very sparse.

Have you seen the new Glams? What do you think? I think I'll pass. I don't care for the trio at all, and although I like a few shades from the Star Wars collection (haven't we had enough of Star Wars polishes already?!), I feel like they look very similar to others I have. But that's good, money saved.
My PPU rewind polishes are coming from RC already, looking forward to those. I hope PfD Kiki is as nice as people say, there's such a big vibe about it.

I'm not immediately taken with the Glams, definitely not the Trio (I had hoped they'd be cute given the inspo but they're not!). I'm not drawn to the others either, they look OK at first glance but nothing has stood out to me - maybe when I see better swatches I'll be tempted, but not so far. I was hoping to add to my solitary polish on order, might still look at the toppers trio from a couple of months ago if nothing else leaps out.
Hope you love your PPUs!

I got the email and ignored it haha! When I saw your post I popped over, most sold out anyway, a couple of available glitters and a couple of holos I quite like... I just consolidated Stackry but I now fancy the new Sparkle & Shine box which only ships to US and Canada, it's all a bit annoying as I didn't want to start another Stackry when this one's literally just finished. Now thinking about getting the EPs as well just to justify it!!! FTLOP could make it more worthwhile but as always it's left to the last minute to release details on that, so no idea what to do at the moment!

They did sell out pretty quickly. Either she didn't have much in stock, or a lot of people wanted to grab things they didn't want to buy at full price.
I quite like the look of the S&S box, let me know if you get it please, I might ask for a decant or two.
Lol, I just noticed my phone corrected "code" to "coffee" last night. In my defence, it was very late and I've been getting up at 7.20 every morning and haven't been sleeping well due to the heat. I'm sure you understood what I meant though. But today I very much need some coffee, iced preferably. Ugh, I hate this weather.

Paypal refunded my Illyrian order today. Celebrated by buying the Sparkle & Shine box and two more Lacquered UP polishes. I like at least one of the new Wildflowers as well, so might order something from them direct instead of via H&C. Hoping that when FTLOP comes out it will be one I want! I don't want to end up with about 6 polishes in there, but I do admit I have a long-suppressed urge for another Lemming order at some point so that could be a plan B!!! Hopefully I haven't been too silly!

I have a few manis to show. First is Sally Hansen Ruby Sapphire (2013 untried, over black) with Illyrian Rainbow Mermaid on the accents. The SH was nice, and really loved the Illyrian.
Next is another Illyrian, The Hot Box. I really liked this too.
Colors by Llarowe Sparkles Are a Girl's Best Friend topped with Nails Inc St George's Square on the accents. It was my oldest untried CbL, wasn't too keen on it tbh,it's a bit meh. I did like the topper though.

Good news about the refund. I do wonder what's actually going on with her. I mean there were delays and unresponsiveness in the past, but this is nothing like before.
My Stackry box only has 3 polishes in it at the moment and 4 not yet shipped, but I don't have to empty mine until late August, so I'm sure I'll order something else to make it worthwhile. Also my eldest ordered a couple of plushies from the US, so there's that too.
I just saw a sneak of the FTLOP box, but only the bottoms. The theme is The Mandelorian and one polish looks green and one blue. The guest might be Quixotic, but not sure yet.
